I come to the question of the hour:
-
How is your fellowship with God?
-
That's the question that I
want us to think about.
-
Every Christian ought to be able to say -
-
doesn't John say it so boldly?
-
He says, "our fellowship
is with the Father
-
and with His Son Jesus Christ."
-
I mean, are we all able to say that?
-
Can we say that boldly?
-
Can you come in here today and say that?
-
Yes, I know it.
-
That is my life.
-
My life is one of fellowship
-
with the Father and with His Son.
-
I know it!
-
Since I've been saved, that is true.
-
That is normative of my life.
-
That is descriptive of my life.
-
That is true.
-
I see it.
-
Oh, it's not where I want it to be.
-
Some days I can't find Him the
way that I want to find Him.
-
But as a rule, I have walked with the Lord
-
and I know what that is.
-
And it's heaven on earth!
-
It's as best as it gets here.
-
And the little bit that I've tasted,
-
I would not turn back for the world.
-
Can you say that?
-
Can you say that dogmatically
-
like he says it?
-
Or are you seized by hesitation?
-
Does conscience hold back?
-
And look, you know what
I'm talking about here.
-
John hit on it.
-
We're not talking doctrine here.
-
We're not talking just a knowledge -
-
a head knowledge.
-
I'm not talking about whether
you made it to church on Sunday.
-
I'm talking about this:
-
Can you say I walk with the Lord?
-
Can you say that?
-
Are you walking with Him?
-
Jesus Christ died to purchase us
-
the privilege to walk with God.
-
It's what He died for.
-
That's what this is all about.
